by-product of
unconditional 
blindsided faith 
in the innate power
of bounds made 
through time
never able to see
that the feeling was
not mutual 
believed in the version 
of truth that was make believe...

There is a din gurgling through my calm.
Rancorous roots reaching
into ceasing heartbeats.

It is but an idea unbridled.
The slow decay of morale manifest
in teardrops long dry.
All that prevails, the black salt....

not my own
but some folk I love

Those whose souls
cry out from a childhood
    of

Living in the ghetto's 
of San Francisco
leaves that adult
by-product
in a messed up way
